We’re sad to learn of the death of Leonard Nimoy who passed away at his home in Los Angeles earlier this morning. Best known for his role as Mr. Spock in Star Trek, Nimoy’s career spanned more than six decades both in front of and behind the camera, in television and film, and left us more than a handful of memorable musical performances such as “The Ballad of Biblo Baggins.” It’s a sad day for Trekkies everywhere, so I’ll leave you with clip from the end of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan as an emotional James T. Kirk attempts to say farewell to his fallen friend. G’night Mr. Nimoy. You were, and always will be, our friend.

A LEGO Justice League movie? Okay, you’ve got my attention. The only real negative to LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes: Justice League vs. Bizarro League is its length. Clocking in around 45-minutes it’s a stretch to say you’re getting your moneys worth with this new LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes “movie.” That doesn’t mean there isn’t an awful lot of fun to be had for fans of LEGO and DC Comics.

The plot takes place after the events of Batman Be-Leaguered (also included here as a nice extra) as a distrustful Batman (Troy Baker) has joined the Justice League which now faces a new threat with the return of Bizarro (Nolan North) who creates Bizarro duplicates of the other members of the Justice League to help him save the lifeless odd square-shaped planet which Darkseid (Tony Todd) has taken an interest in because of the powerful crystals Superman (North) has convinced Bizarro are helpless citizens he needs to protect.

The two disc set includes all six episodes of the season which have aired (the remaining seven may or may not air as the show has not been renewed for a Third Season) but does not include any extra features.
